Rubber car mats by HiTech - Initial review

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd post up some pictures of the mats I've received. Company is Hitech Auto Parts Ltd trading online as UKcarmats.co.uk(retail), parent company is http://www.calibreautoparts.com/index.php (trade)

They are only of the front footwells since it would appear they had a picking error in the warehouse! So I'm giving them some time to sort the problem. I believe they were £32.50 delivered.

They fit well, I have them in another of my cars and they have lasted a long time (although came up a bit short under the seats in the back). I'll see if I can post up some images of those to show how they fare over a few years of use (abuse and no cleaning!).

Please let me know your thoughts.

I'm already thinking they could have gone a bit higher in the front passenger footwell. But not bothered about the driver's side under the pedals; I had some aftermarket carpets in there before so unsure how far up you would want the mat to go under the pedals. Additionally, to the right of the accelerator pedal I have removed the plastic moulding to allow my foot a comfortable resting spot during a Timmus cruise session; so I would have thought on other A2s the fit should be snug.

I bought these myself, no product placement here, however I did get talking to them and when I mentioned I was going to review them, they said they would make up a custom rubber boot liner FOC, but the machine is not available until the end of the month (if the company is to be taken at their word, they ship 5,000 units a week to some of the big car manufacturers).

Here's the link for the liner: http://www.ukcarmats.co.uk/collecti...di-a2-rubber-boot-liner-mat-2000-05-chequered

And they also do a ribbed one: http://www.ukcarmats.co.uk/collecti...-audi-a2-rubber-boot-liner-mat-2000-05-ribbed

By the way, does anyone have a template of the boot? I don't have the extra folding shelf despite it being original to the car, so would probably need a slightly larger one than those who have one.

Lets see how they do in an A2. If they work out and get the rear mats replaced with the right ones, perhaps they may even be able to print a custom logo too.
